generally in Europe people will either:
not every business needs parking right outside
What is it, left and right of those walkable streets? Parked cars on public space.
Also i did not claim that every business needs parking right outside, and they don’t, not necessarily.

The car owners pay for that parking with their road taxes or via parking meters - the small extra cost also serves to discourage those with the choice from driving while not strongly adversely affecting those without a choice
